This is an important lesson that I have just learned from you. Time just flies by while I am out chasing a dollar I have 10 voicemails on my phone that I cant erase of my daughter asking when I will be home. Thank you. Things are going to change around here I need to get my prioritys straight.

your going to have to change your pricing then:

Labor rate 75 per hr straight labor, 100 per hr you watching, 150 per hr you helping, @ home - priceless

Yup.

A lesson I was taught not too long ago myself!

My daughter (1st grader) sent me a text msg from the wife's phone at about 10:00PM one night...all it said was:

Daddy, are you going to tuck me in tonight

..and a pic of her sitting up in bed snapped from the cellphone camera.

I'm SURE, the Mrs. helped her with the texting thing, but the point was made...that msg is saved on my phone.

Did a little research on the numbers ...I don't think this company can afford me.... LOL.
I make more doing what I am doing ...even allowing for the little headaches and speedbumps along the ride ~ and I'm home for dinner every night with the family...kind of hard to put a dollar value on dinner with kids

maybe I'll give them a call then, since my overhead is lower than yours I can give them a better rate
